I know it is similar to a recent post about stripping chrs in a VB dataset, but when I try to get rid of the first 29 chrs in a 256 chrs dataset (..OUT), it is not working:
Code:

//SORT     EXEC PGM=SORT                                   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SORTIN   DD DSN=ABC.DEF.IN,DISP=SHR       
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=ABC.DEF.OUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN    DD  *                                           
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                         
  OUTREC(29,227)
/*


Have been staring at it for half hr. now....any suggestions ?

KM,

Your sysin cards should be as follows
Code:

//SYSIN    DD  *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTREC FIELDS=(30,227)
/*


Hope this helps...

Cheers
